I paid $140 for mine in absolutely mint condition. If she is happy with the $200 I think that would be great for both her and the buyer. She would have sold the machine and the buyer would have something she is going to treasure forever. INHO

I saw a green one listed for $800.00. I asked lots of questions, and the lady has no clue about the machine. One owner, only two feet, and no case. Looks to be in good condition tho. I told her they go for $250-$400 on-line. She said the sewing machine place told her to ask that. Guess she will have it for a long while!

I think the price(200) is low. If good condition should go for more. I got one for my birthday. It is a 1953 (my birthyear). I purchased from a dealer of featherweights in england. He checks them and refurbishes as necessary so ready to be used. We paid $450 and I felt it was well worth the money.

well....i have the green/white one and paid $30 for it with attachment and great case just a few months ago. Had a 1937 sold to a board member for $225 ? I got my 1950 black near perfect-one owner machine for $237....SO i guess it depends on who is selling/buying to get these. Some people buy them for collections and i think they should be used! Just my opinion... :thumbup:
